Gift Cards voted the most popular secret Santa gift

Gift Cards have been voted the most popular secret Santa gift by Brits, who want to receive presents that they can actually use, according to new research.

A survey of 1,007 UK adults carried out by e-tailer Christmas Tree World has revealed the top ten secret Santa gifts that Brits would like to receive this Christmas gifting season, which will see two thirds (67%) of UK adults taking part in the popular tradition.

With the average Secret Santa budget set at £10 in the UK, gift cards have topped the charts as Britain’s most popular secret Santa present (53), a gift, which gives consumers the opportunity to go out and buy something they can choose for themselves.

A quarter (26%) said they would like to receive a book from their Secret Santa, followed closely by tech accessories (23%), which due to the tech savvy nature of Brits, is a safe bet this Christmas. Examples include phone cases, head phones and selfie sticks.

Why not combine the best categories with a gift card for a gadget, a gift card for a book or a gift card for a major supermarket so they can stock up on booze?
